Kirsten Klein (born 18 January 1945) is a Danish photographer who since the mid-1970s has lived on the island of Mors.
[1] It was on Mors where, inspired by the island's landscape, she developed her characteristic style which has continued to evolve ever since: sensitive, poetic and often melancholy depictions of landscapes, marked by the changing seasons, the weather, human cultivation and the unending effects of nature itself.
The part of nature that interests her the most is the transition between near and far and the wealth of shades of grey that lie in between the black of the shadow and the white light.
She looks for the timelessness of thousand-year-old tree trunks or stone formations which testify to the landscape's slow topographical development.
[4] Since the end of the 1980s, she has produced black-and-white photographs, often employing older techniques such as cyanotype and platinum printing.
